Rather be the ice man these days.
The State Fair at Macon is almost
here. And let ’er come.
Taliaferro county is to have a triple
hanging.
It's sea island cattle now instead of (
cotton. And that’s good.
Glad we ain’t np millionaire, for I
we’d be on trial in' New Lork now.
Atlanta might adopt eastern time.
Better do something to catch the
step.
Senator Oscar W. Underwood had a 1

Is the victory for national defense ,
attributed to Sir William also—Ran

Do you spell “Strumit” (z-a)
with a “z” or an “a”? But it beats that
town of Premyxvrifbdg.
With President Wilson all excited,'
we hope he don’t forget to give us a'
Thanksgiving proclamation.

Hands up! New York City is run
ning a race with the Mexican bandits
for the record on train robberies.
Being on the same street sounds
good, bait us thinks that the Chicago
Tribune might be around the corner.
If Villa is dead, there might be a
chance for peace in Mexico, but it’ll
take a good one to get all the pieces j
together, even at that.
Let’s get politics out of the ware- '
house legislation. We want good laws, I
and rot selfish measures for the petty 1
ends of some little cheap skate.
Th e hanging at Springfield, 111., was
s.uite a red-letter circus day, from the
news dispatches. Seems to ’pear to us J
too, that this same place is the birth- '
place of Abraham Lincoln.
Congressman Gussie Gardner has
t
has exploded with a sad essay on “If
I Were Caesar.” Please Caesar,- don’t
turn over in your grave, for Gussie
talks—and that’s all.
The latest dope from Europe makes ,
us a part of Great Britain. The fellow j
that figured out that division of the
United States as a means of settling
the war, was certainly some artist. I

All honor and sympathy to Sidney .1.
Cl Mien, the Charleston newspaper re
porter, who was killed while covering
an assignment. He died —at the hands
of a murderer, was as brave hero as
any man who falls doing his duty.
OBNOXIOUS REPORTS.
It is learned that bad conditions ex
ist near Americus, on the Plains and
Smithville road, at the foot of Mucka
lee Hill. As partial verification, this
paper refers to the attempted “hold
up” of a prominent citizen of Ameri
cus Saturday night.
Near Muckalee creek, it is reported
that hacks may be seen almost any
night, and that frequently crowds are
gathered near this questionable place.
This location is outside of the city
limits, but the officers who have juris
diction over this section have had the
matter brought to their attention, and
investigating the constant reports con
cerning the congregation there of men
of both races, and will stop it.
The highways of this and every
county must be made safe, and the in
cident of Saturday night presents a
difficulty approaching the western
days when every trail -was a bandit’s
haunt.
It is not believed that the outgrowth
of the attempted “hold-up” was merely
robbery, but the result of drinking
1 and carousing which takes place under
' conditions which are questionable, ob
noxious and harmful to the peace and
welfare of this community.
The officers of the law’ will watch
this place and the actors may be as
sured of the certainty of their punish
ment.
SMILE—CHEER UP!
Never in the history of the world has
civilization been at such a low ebb.
That is, the civilization which high
ideals are taught to worship. Nations
are at each other’s throats —killing,
destroying, burning and massacreitog.
But there is a ripple in the dark
clouds. Somewhere the sun bursts
through. And here in our own land
where the reign of prosperity has
usurped the throne of the pessimist.
! and he now sits crowned the plaudits
of a country.
An interesting editorial from the
Augqsta Chronicle is reprinted:
These are dark days for the world.
The shadow of the war is heavier than
ever on all hearts, whatever their sym-
I patries. There is little exultation now
I even in victories, for we know at what
a price of blood and patn every victory
is won.
But there are many things besides
war in the w’orld. Except for our ac
' tive imaginations, most of us would
feel life running on pretty much as
| usual. There Is the same sunshine, the
same autumn colors in the woods, the
1 same joy in bountiful harvests. There
is the same quiet satisfaction of soul
J that has always come with the fall
season, whether in country or city.
I Here, in, our American isolation, we
i can live out our lives in spite of wars
and rumors of wars. There is need, to
be sure, of taking thought for the fu
ture, preparing against the time when
| war may bring home to us the wretch-
1 edness that we knew half a century
ago and that Europe knows today. But
that is a matter for calm decision, not
for alarm and fear.
| We are today the most fortunate na
tion in the world. There is no reason
why w e can not continue so.
j It is a good time for the nation to
[take to heart the philosophy that is
preached so much today to individuals
—the philosophy of confidence, of op
timism, of positive thought. It is right
and proper that we should feel the
woes of Europe ,and it is our duty to
alleviate them all we can. But it is
wrong to let those woes weigh on our
spirits until we lose our buoyancy and
poise.
It is better to regard the war as a
doctor or a nurse regards sickness —
as something to be cured, whose cure
can be effected not through outbursts
of sentimentalism but through intelli
gent and cheerful service.

FLORIDA SUNSHINE.
The land of orange blossoms is told
of short, snappy lines by Phil H. Arm
strong, in the Florida Times-Union,
and the following are several of his
paragraphs: -x
Nothing ever impairs the forbidden
fruit crop.

In looking for a snap nobody seems
to want to encounter the turtle.
* « *
When a man has money to burn it
is never any trouble to get a light.

It must be awfully embarrassing to
some hats to think there is nothing
under them.

A man should at least stay home
long enough to get acquainted with
his children—and the dog.

Circumstances may alter cases for
some; but for the struggling young
lawyer cases alter circumstances.

Any married man ought to know that
the night latch key and the key to hap
piness have nothing in common.

Why worry about a future hell—if
we look about us we can find plenty
right here on earth, says the pessimist.

There is much better enforcement

Every county that has any system of
